Hi, sorry I haven't updated in so long! This week I had the NYS Math tests, fun (not really). But here's the chappie!

"Do we really have to?" Lily whined as I pushed her up the walkway to James's house.

"Yes, yes we do, Lily-flower," I grinned, using James's nickname for the 'Lovely Lily.'

"Ugh, don't call me that!" she said.

"But you know you're meant to be together!" I said, faking a mock wounded expression. She slapped my arm lightly.

"You're becoming more like a Marauder each day!" she exclaimed.

"Well, I am a Marauderette!" I said, straightening myself up to look presentable. I heard Sirius's loud voice and bark-like laugh from inside.

James opened the door. "Hey kid!" he said, pulling me inside and hugging me tightly. Lily waited by the door shyly. He looked surprised that she was actually there. I smiled at him, and he winked at me. "Evans, you're here!" And he hugged her too. She was pressed into his chest, making her look uncomfortable. She started blushing slightly when Sirius came in and gave a couple wolf whistles.

"You guys together? Finally, an end to all this 'what-am-I-gonna-do-Lily-hates-me-and-then-cries-for-hours-before-falling-asleep-deeply-annoying-one-Mr.-Black' business!" Sirius said quickly, catching his breath before noticing I was there. "Hesty!"

I laughed as he picked me up and twirled me around in his arms. Lily and James were still blushing from when Sirius admitted to Lily that James cried himself to sleep because of Lily. She raised an eyebrow at me in Sirius's arms.

"Alright, enough, bad dog!" I scolded Sirius teasingly. He transformed into a big, black dog, and he jumped on top of me and licked my face. "Ah, Sirius, stop!" I shrieked happily.

"Aww, but that was fun!" Sirius pouted playfully. I rolled my eyes at him and he faced Lily.

"You better not do that to me, Black," Lily said warningly, though there was a small smile on her face.

"You don't want me? I'm so hurt! And I thought we were perfect for each other!" Sirius put a hand over his heart and pretended to cry.

I noticed that James tensed at his joke about him and Lily. I smiled at him.

"Well, what do you wanna do?" asked James.

"Swim!" Sirius shouted and he bolted outside. I followed him, with James and Lily behind me.

When we got outside, he was nowhere to be found. "Sirius?" I called out. "C'mon, come out!"

Suddenly I wasn't on the ground anymore, and I was heading towards the pool at an alarmingly fast rate. I squealed and kicked and screamed as Sirius carried me over to the pool. I was going in.

"Time for a swim!" he sing-songed and threw me into the air. I screamed loudly, hoping the pool wasn't cold. I hit the water lightly, and instantly I was relieved at how warm it was. I've always hated cold pools. I opened my eyes and was happy to see that Sirius was also underwater.

I swam up to the surface where I saw James sitting by the side of the pool, trying to convince Lily to go in with him.

"James, I have an idea!" I said, grinning. I took out my wand, which was thankfully not affected by the water. Lily's eyes widened.

"Oh no! Don't even think about it Hestia Jones! Don't you dare!" she screeched, though a smile ruined her angry look.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" I said, and Lily was floating in the air, kicking to no avail.

"You are so dead Hestia Jones!" she laughed as she floated above the pool. After I dumped her in, she swam to the surface and pulled me in with her. Then James and Sirius jumped in as soon as we came up for air, making us start to laugh underwater and almost drown. We all came up to the surface again, leaning over the side of the pool, laughing. I could do this forever.

So what'd you think? Please review!
